    Excellent staff go above and beyond couldn't thank them enough

  • 5 Martin Lee 21st Feb 2023

    Lynda was inspiring and made me completely at ease discussing the arrangements and could understand what I did and did not want and why. I did not want a major ceremony as it would only be a small number of former colleagues, friends and neighbours who knew Doreen well. They all understood that I did not want family travelling miles for 15 minutes goodbye and many were elderly so what we put together worked brilliantly and and everyone was very happy and we celebrated the life of a very special lady and that was all that mattered. I have no difficulty in recommending the services we received and trust everyone in the future will be as satisfied as I am and my friends are too.
